Paul says it is scalable in the introduction page. It also depends on the wood you are going to use. I’d definitely want to reduce the shelf length if I was going to put books on them.

20 May 2022 at 7:43 am #760465I haven’t finished mine yet but my gut tells me to check the back of the tensioning bar. Maybe ease the corners of the edge with a fine file?
15 August 2021 at 6:32 pm #724964I think the occasional table project has a sort of breadboard end.

22 October 2019 at 8:12 am #620425Hi Mark68,
I had exactly the same problem with my bench build so I ended up using some hex head coach screws (similar to ones I used to attach the vise) and then because I had no intention of moving my bench I bored a hole to take a wooden plug to hide the heads. I’ve been using the bench for a year now and it is as solid as the day it was finished.
BTW if you Google M10 barrel nut you will find quite a few hits, some as cheap as 48p each…

The cost is outrageous even if it is for four. Try googling for bed bolts or bunk bed bolts…
15 August 2019 at 8:40 pm #599644One thing that I had to redo was to make the hole in the screw rails slightly larger than I had originally drilled. This meant that the slats pulled down much better when I tightened the screws.
